Introduction to Emotional Intelligence

The term emotional intelligence – also called emotional quotient or EQ

– might sound complicated but it is something anyone can develop. It has
nothing to do with how smart you are – referred to as your intelligence
quotient or IQ – or how many facts you know. In short, EQ is a person’s ability
to recognize and manage their emotions.

Emotional Intelligence is the ability to manage feelings so that they are

expressed appropriately and effectively, enabling people to work together
smoothly toward common goals (Goleman, 1998).

An emotion is an inner realization or feeling of, for example, joy, anger,

fear, or sadness. It can either occur spontaneously or can be caused by a
certain situation. Our emotions often influence our actions or reactions.

Emotions
• Emotions are an engagement to act and a tendency to do things.
Goleman pointed out in his book the other possible variances of
emotions when one emotion combines with another like jealousy with
sadness and fear.
• Emotions are attitudes or responses to a situation or an object like
judgements (Zemach, 2001).
• Robert Plutchik theorized that emotions are multi-dimensional or
having various intensities, identified these as: adoration, ecstasy,
anticipation, rage, disgust, grief, surprise and fear. Each of these eight
basic emotions have varying intensities starting with the most intense
at the center with the most intense colors to the least intense of
emotions within that category.

Practical Ways to Develop your Emotional Intelligence

Emotional Intelligence can be learned and developed. The ability to stay

calm and in control in difficult situations is highly valued by the people
around you.

1. Observe how you react to people – Judging someone or a situation

without getting all the facts is not an EQ quality. Look honestly and
how you think and interact with other people. Try to put yourself in
their place and be more open in accepting their perspectives and needs.

2. Look at your school setting – Humility is a wonderful trait and it does

not mean you are shy or you lack self-confidence. When you do no seek
recognition for work done, being humble means you know your work
and can be silently confident about its value and quality. An individual
with high EQ will choose to give others a chance to shine and not get
praise for himself.

3. Do a self-evaluation – Discover your weaknesses. No one is perfect

being open to the fact that there are still areas that you can improve on
that can make you a better person. By having the courage to look at
yourself honestly, you can transform your life.

4. Be accountable for your actions – If you offend or hurt someone’s

feelings, you must apologize.

5. Record your emotional response to events – Take time to recognize

how you feel about experiences. It is important in improving your EQ.

6. Listen to your body – Be alert to the physical symptoms of your

emotions. Our minds and bodies are not detached and influence each
other extremely. Raising your EQ would involve knowing the physical
signs that gives hints of the emotions you are experiencing.

7. Monitor how your emotions and behavior are linked – Listen to your
instinctive reactions to situations you encounter every day instead of
just responding without any thought.

8. Refrain from judging your emotions – All the emotions you have are
legitimate even the negative ones. When you judge your emotions, you
will prevent your ability to completely feel, making it harder to use your
emotions for positive behavior.

9. Notice patterns in your emotional past – It is one way to pick up

things about your own feelings and how they are associated with your
experience.

6
LU_Personal Development_Module 6
10. Relate with other people – Being open minded and agreeable are
traits of a high EQ. No one wants to deal with a person who always
contradicts or is negative about everything.

11. Improve your empathy skills – Empathy means being able to know
how other people are feeling and responding to them accordingly.

12. Study people’s body language – Try to read between the lines of what
and how people say things and identify their true feelings by watching
their facial expressions and another body language.

13. See the effect you have on others – Another half of EQ is

understanding the effect you have on other people.

14. Practice being emotionally honest – If you say you’re alright and
have a frown on your face, you are not communicating honestly.

15. Be more light-hearted at home and at school – When you’re positive,

it is easier to see the beauty in life and that will pass on those around
you. Optimism results in emotional well-being and greater
opportunities. People want to be around an optimistic person.
